Abaqus Job#

The Job object is the abstract base type for other Job objects. The Job object has no explicit constructor. The methods and members of the Job object are common to all objects derived from Job.

deleteAfterCopy: A Boolean specifying whether remote files are to be deleted after they are copied to the local machine. The default value is OFF.
description: A String specifying a description of the queue. The default value is an empty string.

Returns:
